I had decided that if there were less than 5 comments that you would all win the fridge calendar. So, congratulations to Melissa, Heather and Mary. I will get those in the mail to you next week before I leave for Leadership.

Thanks to Mary for emailing me to let me know it's been more than 3 days since I posted to my BLOG. She will get a card in the mail from me. Kepp on me you all....I need it.

Here's a card that we'll be making at my upcoming Stamp Camp on January 26th. If you're in the Northern Virginia area and would like to have a few hours of crafting fun, email me at stampinruth@aol.com and I'll send you the invitation to join us. It's a ton of fun and a great group of ladies.

Happy New Year everyone. What a fun way to start the new year, by giving away a free pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Here is my original email from December 14th....

Let me sweeten the pot for you. Every $40 incremental online order (before sh/h/tax) placed today through December 31 will get entered into a drawing for a pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP). If your order is $80, you'll be entered twice, $120 = 3 times, etc. If your order is $150 or more, you'll get 5 entries, AND you'll also receive the hostess rewards. woo hoo.

All the names got put into a basket this morning and one winner was drawn.

Congratulations to Diane Pagels. Diane, please send me your pick for any DSP pack you choose ($10.95 value), and I will order it and send to you ASAP!

Well, a new year means resolutions for some. Do you have a New Year's resolution? If so, leave a comment (appropriate for all audiences) and I will draw a winner this coming Saturday. You will win a magnetic 2013 coaster calendar that I made. Watch for the drawing announcement and I will send it out as soon as I draw the name and get your mailing address. Good luck.

Here's a beautiful card made by Denise, one of my downline. We all made this at our December team meeting shoebox swap. It uses some product from the new Spring Catalog. You can start ordering from the Spring Catalog on January 3rd....just 2 days from now. If you don't have your copy yet, email me to send you one. Sale-a-bration (SAB) begins on 22 January! This sample uses the new Honeycomb Embossing Folder - #129378, the new Hearts a Flutter stamp set - # 129252 (c) or # 129249 (w), the matching Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies # 130159 and the Big Shot Machine - #113439. It also uses the new Pool Party Core'dinations paper - #129321. You can link to my website at www.stampwithruth.stampinup.net to order any of these products, beginning January 3rd. The Spring Catalog is simply amazing. One of my friends and customer emailed me to say that it's the best 'mini catalog' in years. I have to agree.
